Step 1
Pat ribs dry with paper towels. Season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
Step 2
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 3
Add ribs to the skillet without moving for 3 minutes until deeply browned, then flip and cook 2 minutes more.
Step 4
Pour in kecap manis and rice vinegar, add minced garlic, then simmer until sauce thickens and ribs are glossy, 4 minutes.
Step 5
Push ribs to the side. Add tomato halves cut-side down to the pan and charred 2 minutes per side until edges blacken.
Step 6
Toss raw cabbage with a squeeze of lime juice and a pinch of salt. Plate ribs, tomato, and slaw; squeeze remaining lime over top.
